Differences between British and Chinese culture

China and UK have a long history, there are huge culture gap between two countries.After living here, i recognize much more different factors.

Considering the different,i'd like to see the food.Chinese food is more health food,which is fruit,green vegetable or High-protein foods.And it is rich in fibre and low in sugar and fat.However most of person who are in UK like fat fried potato chips、butter、cheese and chocolate.British people do not spand a lot of time cooking for lunch,they awlay choose fast food,but Chinese people pay attention lunch and dinner.

As far as i concerned the most different is education.We always konw that Chinese is exam-oriented education but British is open education.In the Chinese class,the teacher pay attention the knowledge of book.While in British,the teacher focus on discussion coorperation and imagination.China has huge number of students,so we had to have more test and exams to screen students. The exam of university entrance is the most important exam in Chinese students,because it may change our lifes.The university raly on this exam,so we have only one opportunity. Generally the Chinese students who gain a good score is acdemic susses students.While the students in UK have more opportunity to be acadmic susses students.

Another different is privacy.Meeting the previous times,Chinese talk about age marriage job famliy,so we don't seem to belong pricacy.While the British attach great important to their privacy.

  1. Hi Katrina,

    Thank you for your interesting essay!

    You have a good structure but you left out a conclusion!! Also, good use of paragraphing, but be sure to develop ideas if they are their own paragraph. The paragraph on privacy could provide more examples to develop it.

    Be careful about spelling and vocabulary, and sentence structure. Success (not susses)!
    (ex: Considering the different,i'd like to see the food --- awkward sentence structure).

    Overall, good job and thank you for your ideas!
